Since the information on your Kobo should not be changing while you have it connected, why would you want to re-run the Store operation? Out of curiosity, what do you see as the difference between the Store on connect option and running the same operation from the Store/Restore tool?
As for Restore? That is something I do very rarely, mostly after a factory reset so I see no real advantage to having it as a keyboard shortcut. To me, keyboard shortcuts are reserved for common operations

Yes, that's what it does on connect. I only want to run it on some connects, not all. I could change the options in KU, turning it off when I don't want the info transferred and back on when I do, but that's many more clicks/keypresses.
The underlying issue is the amount of time it takes. Sometimes I do things that don't require updating info, so I don't want to have to wait for the updating jobs to finish.
FWIW, I've never run restore. As you say, I'd run it after a factory reset.
